Getting Kids To Program Old School Video
Games 04/06/2005 06:48 AM
It seems that every recent story about Atari has been about their attempts (in their modern form -- quite different from the original Atari) to make a killing on the nostalgia market, offering up classic games from years back to today's adults -- either on computers or (increasingly) on mobile phones. However, it appears that many feel the basic concepts of old Atari videogames are still valuable for game designers to learn -- resulting in a competition to design new games for the Atari 2600. Of course, there's one twist: the games needed to be created in 24 hours. While the story is amusing to read, what it really does is remind people that, despite all the amazing graphics found in today's game, a game is still about gameplay at its core -- which many of today's game designers seem to forget.

A San Francisco Chronicle article describes an unusual class at San Ramon Valley High School where there are no desks and no lectures. It's a class that students actually want to attend, even though it means staying at school as late as 8pm and coming in on Saturdays. It's a robotics class where the students work on a robot for the annual FIRST competition. Last year the student's entry placed second out of the 46 teams competing in their region.

School Curriculum

Putting Media Literacy In The Elementary
School Curriculum 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Since much of what we seem to focus on here is about the way various people and organizations "spin" stories to prove a point, I think it's increasingly important that people learn (at an early age, if possible) to be skeptical about how ideas are presented to them, and learn to be more discerning in asking deeper questions and looking for additional context. That's why it's encouraging to find out that many schools are adding a "media literacy" component to their English programs, where students learn just how easy it is to manipulate or spin a message. While some complain that this is just teaching kids "pop culture", I would disagree. It's a way to help develop critical thinking skills at a very young age. In a world where everyone seems focused on only presenting their side of the story, getting people, at a very young age, to realize that there are many sides (not just two) to every story is important - and is likely to be a very practical skill for anyone to have. Of course, already, you do have to wonder who they get to teach these courses, and if they'll have their own spin to put on it as well. Perhaps such courses should have multiple teachers with multiple points of view, just to prove the point. Found via JD's New Media Musings.

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot?

A Running Robot Or A Rolling Robot? 12/18/2003 12:58 PM
It took years for researchers to figure out how to make a robot be able to stand and walk on two legs. In fact, it's so complicated, that some researchers are giving up on that idea and using Segway balancing technology on their robots instead of legs. However, the folks at Sony seem to have taken the concept of the upright walking robot one step further: they've figured out how to make a robot run. That's right, it actually leaves the ground at points while jogging along. It apparently needs a bit of a walking start to get up to speed, and even at running speed, it's more of a slow jog - where it's feet barely leave the ground. Still, it's a start, and with some more work, they believe they can really make the robot run.

Robotics: Grow Up!

Robotics: Grow Up! 06/17/2005 07:12 PM
Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine says, "Robotics: Grow Up!" and then tells the robotics industry to gets its act together. Lance does a great job in bringing to light what's wrong with the robotics industry by recollecting his experiences with a recent robotics trade show. Sadly, a lot of his points are completely correct. The robotics industry appears to be mired in myopic, over- schooled robotic geeks making piddly wall-detection robots that no one wants nor can they sell. His solution? Simplify your robot and run a cost-benefit analysis to see if it will sell. He says the Roomba meets that cost-benefit criterion. Check out the article to find out more about Lance's interesting observations.

It further breaks cooperative robots in marsupial teams where there is a mother-child relationship and competitive teams such as RoboCup soccer robots. A list of pitfalls that may be encountered when using WiFi for wireless robotics is also provided.

Behavior-based Robotics and AI

Behavior-based Robotics and AI 08/17/2004 01:32 PM
David P. Anderson of the Dallas Personal Robotics Group has written a combined review of two books recently added to the DPRG library, "Cambrian Intelligence The Early History of the New AI" by Rodney A. Brooks and "Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots" by Roland Siegwart and Illah R. Nourbakhsh. One of the books is based on the traditional artificial intelligence approach to robotics while the other presents Brook's behavior-based subsumption approach. This difference makes them ideal for a comparative review. Readers may also wish to read the review of the Siegwart and Nourbakhsh book posted last month here on robots.net. Readers wishing to learn more about Brook's ideas should visit his online archive of papers. Read on for the full review.
